I am working on building a traditional stand from 2x4s as a frame.
In the past I had built one for an 80 with the corner overflow and one of the vertical supports (in RED) had to be chiseled away to make room for the bulkhead fitting to go into the bottom of the tank and allow enough room for the PVC to be connected. The way the image is on the sketch-up is the way I build this in the past and chiseled it.
see picture of past stand where I had to cut away part of the 2x4
Does anyone see a problem with rotating the RED 2x4 90 degrees to allow enough space to make the room for the PVC connection underneath the tank? Also, does it matter what way those inner supports should be positioned? because I could just put them all the same direction as the red one.
Thanks
Ian
